The visitors played well in the last few minutes. Law Tsz Chun broke away from the defenders and dribbled past keeper Van Lam but was offside. A few minutes later, Hong Kong attacked dangerously from the right flank and Hai Huy was forced to commit a foul and accepted a yellow card.

Phan Tuan Tai passed the ball for Pham Tuan Hai on the left flank. He passed back for Doan Van Hau to finish, but Hau missed the shot. The ball found the substitute Dinh Thanh Binh, who couldn't take a proper shot.

Despite being a friendly, this game is still highly anticipated because it's the first game of Vietnam national football team with French coach Philippe Troussier, who arrived in February.
For Hong Kong, this is also a chance for the team to end their goal drought after nine games without scoring, since June last year.
